Why 8mm / Hi8 / Digital 8 / Beta / VHS / MiniDV / MicroMV Tape format?
The 8mm cassette known as analog Video8, Hi8 and Digital8 recording format has been around since 1984. For 32 years it has been a compact, rugged and reliable media for capturing our precious memories. Now a days I'm sure these captured memories could not be more valuable and priceless to everyone. However, the working devices to playback these time capsules are dwindling in numbers and nolonger made due to the high cost of manufacturing. If you happen to find them, it is not unusual they accompany many issues primarily due to age and repair service availability despite this format is designed to outlast many generations way passed our lifetime.
This is where my many years of knowledge, skills and experiences acquired as former Sony Technical Employee for 7 years (since 1988 before going independent), Awarded and Recognized by SONY Corporation of America Ranking 3rd of SONY's Top 24 Most Wanted (1990 - SONY's Finest Technical Specialist) in the nation becomes useful. Every devices we restore and sell here carries a 90 days Courtesy Service warranty and serviced right the first time to give you a peace of mind, guarantee you're not taking any chances.
However, I would like to be very explicit that I DO NOT accept any RETURNS for REFUND (no exceptions). eBay's money back guarantee for not as described here DOES NOT apply to any of my listings because I am very meticulous and have a very high attention to details
. If you are only shopping around for the cheapest price, ambivilent, unsure, uncertain about what you want or have a habit of returning an item purchased for what ever reason - I beg you to please do yourself a favor, save us both the time/trouble/financial losses and find yourself another seller to play with. To learn more about our company - doctorsony.com .
These 8mm devices normally cost around 5.00 to as much as 5.00 on average to get restored properly due to age without cutting down corners and make it last. We priced it accordingly for acquisition and restoration cost because we believe these devices do not deserve to end in the landfill but be saved for purpose of accessing your time capsules.

I have been receiving enumerable inquiries about camcorder and 8mm player repairs from many eBayers and my hands are getting tired typing the same answer over and over, so I decided to incorporate it here. The
simple answer is YES
. Our company is one of the remaining few which service the 8mm format that has been around for 24 years and is reputable in the field for
DOING IT RIGHT
(Academically learned, factory trained and certified contrary to many so called screw driver technicians who do not have the proper tools, resource, manufacturer's training, certifications, sound technical trouble shooting methods and experiences compared to many who gained experiences by tinkering at customer's expense leaving their devices worsed than before if they cannot fix them).
